WEEK THIRTEEN RESULTS

• The group and lock winning percentages were great……again, 55.1% and 54.1%, respectively.
• Its inevitable at this point, the 6-0s will outnumber the 0-6s this year.  We had five 6-0s, to only one 0-6.
• Despite it being another great week for the group, we only had 38 people score 100+ points.
• Another bad week for the home underdogs (1-3-1).  Their overall winning percentage is 41%, which is 11.5% worse than last year (52.5%).
• Underdogs received the majority of the picks in 3 games.  They were 2-1 ATS in those games.
• Baylor was the most popular pick.  They easily covered against Texas.
• Oklahoma State was the most popular lock, despite going into the game with uncertainty at quarterback.  That game ended in a push.
• Penn State vs Ohio State was the only game where both sides received 100+ picks.  Penn State lost the game but covered the spread.
• Teams favored by less than 10 points were 5-1-1 ATS.
• Five teams received less than 5 locks.  None of them covered the spread.
• James Welin still holds the top spot in the rankings.

WEEK TWELVE RESULTS

• WEEK TWELVE WINNER:  Jason S and Iven Stevenson.  Eight people went 6-0 this week.  Jason and Iven led the way with 128 points.
• With only three weeks left to go, it is looking more and more like the 6-0’s will out number the 0-6’s for the first time in PP6 history.  The current count it 78 to 55.
• The group winning and lock winning percentages were really good….again…:  55.4% and 56.3%, respectively.
• In a season where favorites have already outperformed historical statistics, they had their best week of the season:  10-4-1.

• Baylor vs OU was the most popular game of the week, and picks were evenly distributed:  133 for Baylor and 122 for OU.  Baylor covered the spread, but OU kept their playoff hopes alive.

• James Welin held onto the top spot, despite having the lowest scoring week of anyone in the Top 48.
• This is the time of year where being in the Top Ten starts messing with your head….or so I’m told.  Stick to the strategy that got you there.
• And then there were eight:  The bracket is down to eight players.  Chris Easterly was the highest scorer of the week (104 points).

WEEK ELEVEN RESULTS

• WEEK ELEVEN WINNER:  Jared Hunter, Brant Chill, Chad Bradley and Gary Mathews.  When 15 people (15!) go 6-0, there are going to be some ties.  Unfortunately, four people tied for first.
• The group winning percentage was solid, but the lock winning percentage was the third-worst of the year:  53.7% and 47.8%, respectively.
• Three of the top four most popular lock selections failed to cover the spread.  Baylor (the most popular lock) was the only team to cover, and they needed a little luck to do so.

• Chad Capra finally relinquished the lead.  James Welin took over the top spot in style, going 6-0 for the second time this year.
• Brandon Bains is the only person with an 11-0 lock record.  Chad Capra is 1/2 game back with a 10-0-1 record.  Three others are tied at 10-1.

• Chris Easterly was the lowest scorer (44 points) to advance in the bracket.
• Jason Kurien was the highest scorer to lose (82 points).
